Lieserer Niederberg Helden:
Created by merging the previously separate Niederberg and Helden vineyards, this Grosse Lage vineyard is just east of the village of Lieser. With a steep slope and the typical soil type for this part of the Mosel, blue Devonian slate, Niederberg Helden is known as one of the top vineyards for producing both dry and noble sweet wines. A unique microclimate is formed here by the south facing slopes curving inward which helps to capture warmth.

"This stunning Auslese marries great purity and delicacy of stone and currant fruit with breathtaking minerality. Great precision and an extremely precise balance of slatey acidity and discrete grape sweetness make this stand out. Only a hint of creaminess at the finish, but this has so much energy it is very uplifting. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."

"Mosel Auslese wines have the reputation of being honeyed, but this is extremely pristine. Stunning slatey freshness that makes this as bright as sunlight glittering on a mountain stream. Extremely long, crystalline finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Lieserer Niederberg Helden Auslese, made without botrytized fruit, offers vivid smokiness on the nose that transforms into expansive sweetness on the palate. Intense and balanced flavors of white peach, clementine and candied lemon are sweet yet serene, fresh, light-bodied, zesty and elegant."
